Nova Single and Double Air Piloted Single and Double Solenoid N2-DCD N2-SP N2-DP N2-SCD Solenoids shown here with plug PVD (sold separately) Designed For Long Life Nova 4-way directional control valves offer state-of-the-art air valve design at a remarkably low price. Nova utilizes a single bonded rubber spool with finely ground sealing lands that travel only.047...less than 6 th of an inch! This economy of movement assures long valve life yet generates enough flow to power a 4 bore cylinder. External Air Supply to Solenoid (E) For solenoid actuation below the stated minimum pilot pressure or for vacuum applications, a 0-32 tapped external air supply allows the solenoid to be operated at different pressures than the power section. Ordering Instructions Large Air Flow With Dual Exhausts Single Valves: State model number and voltage, if applicable. 4 NPTF ported Nova valves produce a large output flow of 57 cubic feet per minute at 00 PSI inlet pressure (C v =.0). Each output port has its own exhaust port so that individual exhaust control is possible. Manual Override as Standard All Nova valves are supplied with manual overrides so that valve actuation may be triggered without electricity or air to the pilots.

Nova Control Valves Double Push Button Hand Lever Foot Pedal DIN Solenoid Plugs N2-PB N2-HL Stacking Options N2-F4 DIN Solenoid Plug Most electrically actuated Nova valves utilize DIN type solenoids. DIN solenoids feature a totally encapsulated coil with 3 prongs, allowing fast and easy plug connections. By simply loosening its nut, the solenoid coil may be easily positioned or replaced. A DIN plug (ordered separately) quickly attaches to the solenoid s prongs and is secured by a single screw. If your application calls for the use of several valves, it is often advantageous to stack them. Because all valves within a stack are supplied air from a common source and are vented through common exhaust ports, plumbing time and fitting costs are greatly reduced. Stacking also assures that your control valves are located centrally for more convenient trouble shooting and maintenance. Each stack valve body is attached only to its immediate neighbors so that valve additions, replacements, or deletions are easily achieved. Flow Patterns Model PVD Dimensions Mead offers 3 types of DIN plugs to facilitate connections to the solenoid. Model PVD is a plug with a 2 conduit entry and no lead wires. Model PVD2 also has a 2 conduit entry but includes 20 of cabled lead wire. Model PVD3 is a strain relief plug that includes 20 of cabled wire. See page 63. Easy To Repair Single-actuated spring return models, including hand lever and foot pedal, have the inlet and Cyl. B ports connected when unactuated. On all double-actuated models, except N2-PB and N2-DB, signals at P cause output at Cyl. A and signals at P2 cause output at Cyl. B. On N2-PB and N2-DB models, the reverse occurs. Nova valves are designed to permit complete replacement of all wearing parts in seconds without touching the piping or electrical wiring. All you need are a pair of snap ring pliers and a replacement spool. Basic Top View N2-DP, SP, DB, and PB N2-HL N2-SCD (with plug) Stacks N2-F4 www.meadfluiddynamics.com 47

Three Position Models Capsula valves are 4-way, 5 ported directional control valves. This means that they have one inlet, 2 pressure outputs, and 2 exhaust ports. Dual exhausts facilitate individual flow control of each output port and allow dual pressure and diverter hookups. At Rest Actuated The Capsula line offers a wide variety of actuator styles including single & double air piloting, hand lever operators, and single & double solenoid piloting. DIN Solenoid Plugs Electrically actuated Capsula valves utilize DIN type solenoids. DIN solenoids feature a totally encapsulated coil with 3 prongs, allowing fast and easy plug connections. By simply loosening its nut, the solenoid coil may be easily positioned or replaced. A DIN plug (ordered separately) quickly attaches to the solenoid s prongs and is secured by a single screw. Whenever the inlet is charged and neither actuator is signalled, both output ports will either be blocked (pressure held) or exhausted (pressure released). Pressure held models allow a cyl. to be inched along. Pressure released models allow the cylinder piston to float in neutral.

Most models include easy-to-use built-in flow controls that permit the user to establish cylinder speeds right at the directional valve. This eliminates the clutter of extra fittings and controls in the cylinder area. Remote Air Piloting N-0 Air piloting is a simple and economical way to operate cylinders or other air driven devices because there is no need for electric wiring or solenoids. A wide variety of air pilot operators is provided in the Micro-Line valves section (pages 54-55). Depending upon the Duramatic model selected, the remote pilot signal received may be either pressure type or bleed type. Pressure Piloted Valves X-0 These valves shift when pressurized air travels from a remote pilot valve (i.e., Micro-Line valve) to the pilot port of the Dura-matic valve. 4 W-0 Single Pressure 48.5.63 4 X-0 Double Pressure 48.5.63 4 Y-0 Single Bleed 48.5.63 4 Z-0 Double Bleed 48.5.63 8 L-0 Single Pressure 0.. 8 N-0 Double Pressure 0.. 8 T-0 Single Bleed 0.. 8 V-0 Double Bleed 0.. * Flow at 00 PSI Inlet pressure (in SCFM) These models do not have built-in flow controls Pressure : Temperature : Lubrication: Filtration: Type : Dynamic Seals : Plate: Exhaust Ports: Speed Controls: Technical Specifications 20 to 50 PSI (min. 30 PSI on W-0) -40 F to +50 F Petroleum base oil 40 micron Construction Slide (wear compensating nylon) Buna N Block Vs Hardened and lapped aircraft quality steel Common to both cylinder ports Needle type with check valve to allow free out flow and controlled exhaust flow Pilot valve #2 is not required on single pressure piloted models which are return-shifted by internal air.

These types of routines can result in repetitive motion disorders such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The debilitating effects usually result in increasing worker compensation claims and declining employee productivity. Mounting Options The Low Stress Series allows you to choose between three distinct mounting options. Mounting holes are located in the valve body for standards side mounting. For foot bracket or panel mounting, be sure to specify the proper model number, listed below. Ergonomically designed to respond to extremely weak actuation forces, Mead s low stress valve will perform at the mere brushing of your finger. This valve will dramatically reduce the demands on your workers hands, wrists and arms. Requiring as little as 6 ounces of force to initiate a signal, operators experience little or no wrist flex. Low Stress Two-Hand Control To provide safer operation of assembly equipment and other machinery use the LTV Low Stress valves with the CSV-07 two-hand control unit. When used as directed, this unit demands concurrent actuation from two remote inputs before a signal can be initiated. Further, the release of one or both inputs immediately stops the output signal. The unit cannot recycle until both valves are again simultaneously actuated. The CSV-07 requires no electrical connections.

Isonic 2, 3 and 4-way valves feature a unique, multi-patented design that significantly shrinks valve size while boosting flow capacity. With its design and a state-of-the-art manufacturing process, Isonic breaks through the restriction and limitations of conventional valve manufacturing....and Cuts Costs! Isonic technology eliminates all machining operations associated with valve manufacturing. Requiring only simple assembly, Isonic can be produced quickly and easily with significant cost reduction. The Award-Winning Half-Shell Design The body halves are joined by ultrasonic welding, creating a strong bond and hermetic seal. The heart of the Isonic concept is its patented half-shell design. Composed of two mirror-image halves, Isonic allows its flow channels and internal component compartments to be designed directly into these molded body sections. Valve bodies are molded of high-strength, glass-impregnated Ultem thermoplastic. Assembly is achieved by simply inserting the various valve elements into their corresponding half-shell pockets. Internal components are easily positioned to make optimal use of space. The valve is completed by ultrasonically welding the two valve segments, creating a strong bond and hermetic seal. This design totally eliminates the need for fasteners, adhesives, gaskets and inserts. New Patents Patent # Patented Property 5,222,75 Half-Shell Valve Construction 5,34,846 Plug-In Valve Stack Assembly Additional Patents Pending Isonic has earned UL recognition, is tested to the standards of CSA and conforms to the applicable directives of the European Union.

Isonic (4-Way) Control Valves The Quick-Change Manifold The Isonic manifold system has been designed to virtually eliminate downtime. Connecting any valve to the manifold base is as easy as plugging in an electrical cord. With this patented plug-in design, replacing an individual valve on the manifold can be accomplished in a matter of seconds! Isonic Manifold Expands With Your Needs Available in two, three or four station segments, the manifold s unique modular design creates a versatile, expandable control base. For manifolds larger than four stations, two or more segments can be easily combined to create any size manifold (multiple segments are assembled on DIN rail and secured with end stops). Manifold segments are easily isolated for applications with differential pressures. Isolate Individual Valves On Manifold Individual valve isolation allows you to control each valve s inlet air separately, if desired. This would allow you to remove and add valves without having to cut air to the manifold, virtually eliminating downtime. See How to Order for details on the S option. Simplify Wiring Tasks With Cable Connector To further reduce set-up time and installation costs, the Isonic manifold can be prewired to accept a single connection. With this option, a printed circuit board connects each of the manifold s valve stations. Simply plug in a standard flat-cable ribbon to the 0-pin connector for quick, clean wiring. A single connector can supply wiring for up to 8 valves. A second cable connector is necessary for manifolds of more than 8 valves.

3-Way Air Switches MV-5 MV-0 Mead s MV air switches are 3-way 8 ported air pilot valves that are identical in size, actuating style, and mounting characteristics to most industrial type electric limit switches. Use them in place of electric limits to save on hookup cost and eliminate spark hazard. MV valves simplify circuits by eliminating the need for wire shielding, transformers, and solenoids. They may be piped normally closed, normally open, or as a diverter. These alternatives are described in detail below. NORMALLY CLOSED Pressurized air flows from to 2 when button is pushed. Exhaust air flows from 2 to 3 when button is released. NORMALLY OPEN Pressurized air flows from 3 to 2 when button is not pushed. Exhaust air flows from 2 to when button is pressed. DIVERTER Pressurized air flows from 2 to when button is pushed. Pressurized air flows from 2 to 3 when button is released. This hookup does not provide for exhaust.
